Wally and I dropped a car off at Hiero trail around 6:00am. Then we drove over to Jacob's Trailhead off Broadway to start our hike. Wally and I had done the other half of Lost Goldmine in a couple of out and backs recently. We got started a little before 6:30am. No headlamps needed. With the help of the mountain we avoided the sun for the first 2.5 miles, I believe. The trail is rockier than I remember

. We woke up a couple of Mule Deer a mile in. This area has lots of nice vegetation but then there is the Stinknet!

We followed the route until we got to the houses and the gate with the private property-no trespassing sign. About 3.3 miles to there. From there we went west until we hit the Hog Canyon road. About .3 miles from closed gate. South from there a short ways then east on Cloudview all the way back to Hiero parking lot. Not sure if the first part of the road is Cloudview or private road and turns into Cloudview. It would be nice if they could just take Cloudview straight east and not south along that fence line. Then connect it to Hiero where the other half connects and skip the houses and streets. For now I guess the Cloudview side is a no go.
On the way back we stopped at Silly Mountain to see if they were putting out the Leprechaun's for kids to find this year on the Nature trail. As of now, they have not. Grandson won't be happy. LOL
